<p>hello.</p>
<p>i've never had one, but as a graduation gift, for many senior/graduation stuffs and prom(yes), i'm gonna get one.</p>
<p>I need some advices. what kinda brand or price range should i look at??
anything about formal suit(3peice or whatever) would be awesome!
(also i'm thinking about wearing them for prom, is that alrigt?)</p>
<p>ThanktS!</p>
<p>you should just rent a tux for prom</p>
<p>its better to wear a tux to prom, but no one would really notice...or no one would care.</p>
<p>i think that since you're only going to be in college not to spend too much on a suit right now. probably very few people in college can tell the difference between an expensive and cheap suit.</p>
<p>Italian is the way to go, they're so much lighter, easier to wear.</p>
<p>A cheap 2 piece, singel breasted suit in either a dark navy or a dark grey. Rent a tux for prom. But, I would recommend just buying a blazer/sport coat. A navy blazer will be a lot cheaper than a suit and should work for any situation you'd encounter senior year. I can't think of anything that <i>requires</i> a suit that you'd need senior year. Wait another 4 years and get a suit when you're applying for a job.</p>
<p>Thrift stores are great places to pick up suits. No joke. Goodwill and the like generally have quality suits and jackets for <$20. Ebay is good too, especially for retro stuff, just make sure you know your measurements. My school requires a jacket and tie on Mondays, and I get all sorts of compliments on my cheap formal attire.</p>
<p>besides secondhanded suits (which i love to look more into!!),
what's a range of prices for a two peice suit??</p>
<p>You can get a new one as cheap as maybe $80 or $90 on ebay. There really is no upper limit. I bought a vintage Brioni suit on ebay for around $70. When it was new that suit probably cost someone around $2000, so that gives you an idea of the range of prices.
Check out this ebay store for a wide array of inexpensive new suits: <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/DRESS-SUITS_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQftidZ2QQtZkm%5B/url%5D">http://stores.ebay.com/DRESS-SUITS_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQftidZ2QQtZkm</a>
If you take some time on ebay you could probably find something really nice for not very much.</p>
<p>Don't listen to these people.</p>
<p>Rent a nice tux for prom. It's worth the $150 to look good and impress on your big day.</p>
<p>I don't think anyone was telling him to not rent a tux. I know I sure wasn't. I still think you have no need for a suit at this time. Buy a blazer.</p>
<p>yeah a blazer is what's in my mind. (i mean, i think a blazer's still akinda suit) anyway. thanks everyone!</p>
<p>Yeah, it's basically a suit jacket with gold buttons, haha. A suit, tie, and khakis is fine for pretty much any function other than your first job interview.</p>
<p>Ugh, I hate the blazer/khakis look.</p>
<p>Better to own a suit in that case.</p>
<p>3-piece Zegna :)
ok ok just go with a regular two piece black or navy. for prom i would rec a tux though.</p>
<p>well i dont really like a tux ;; (is it ONLY me in an entire world?)
i rather like (both look and confort) 2-peice simple (jacket and pants and shirts and a simple tie) suit(or blazar whatever you wanna call)</p>
<p>and i'm planning on wearing them. am i a dick (for my prom date and friends;;)?? hehe</p>
